Seventeen animated caption looks for talking heads, podcasts, ads, lyric and short-form videos (karaoke fill, active-word pop and colour, sliding pill, word tiles, frosted glass, neon, serif italic, white card, bounce and tilted word cards and more), each with presets in exact numbers: font (OFL), size per format, words per screen, active-word timing 1-2 frames before the voice, 9:16 safe box, contrast, padding and easing. The rules come from the Netflix and BBC subtitle guides, the DCMP…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Caption styles: 17 looks, built the way the pros set subtitles Seventeen caption looks with presets you can apply as numbers, not adjectives. Pick how the words are chunked first (a phrase, a group of words or one word at a time), then the look. Every look ships with a plain version that is accessible, since styled word-tracking captions trade some comprehension for attention. ## Gates - **Word timings first.** Build from word-level timestamps (WhisperX, ElevenLabs Scribe, a forced aligner on the script). Never estimate word times from text length. - **Chunking before look.** Phrase captions by default; one word at a time only for hooks, punchlines and clips of 20 s or less. - **Readable on a phone.** Keep text inside the 9:16 safe box and at 4.5:1 contrast against what sits behind it; the shared file has the numbers. - **Accessible deliverable.** Offer a plain phrase SRT/VTT next to the styled render. - **Free fonts only.** Every font in the presets is OFL or Apache. Swap in the person's brand font only if they have a license for video. …

How to install
mdr add varghq/skills/caption-styles@sha256:9521c218f66e895fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
